Obligatory Charlie Sheen Moment

We've all heard the news about Carlos Irwin Estevez (his real name), how he's going on a bender with drugs and hookers and what-not, to the point where his children have been taken from him, to the custody of their mother, and to where his father, actor Martin Sheen, is contemplating an intervention. Or something. He's got one thing going for him; he's getting more compassion than Mel Gibson for bad behavior, and Mel didn't appear to escape the consequences nearly as much.

I'm not sure whether I agree with everything Brendan O'Neill has written about Sheen, but his commentary in the Telegraph is the most refreshing to date, especially when he ends by saying that ...

Sheen nicely reminds us that we alone are responsible for our behaviour, and that we alone can improve ourselves, when we’re ready.

He's not ready. Film at 11. Discuss.

Charlie Sheen's cheese has completely slipped off his cracker. It is sad because he had a really funny sitcom. If you like funny stuff, check out the funny videos at Off Color Fun.
